So it’s a good thing I’m leaving this company…
I have to remove Oracle from a server next week. It’s a very basic thing; basically, the server it is on should never have had Oracle on it in the first place (it’s just for file and print, and someone installed it for some random application. Said random application has been removed, so now we want Oracle off). Since you can’t sneeze in the data center around here without filing paperwork, I had to file a Request For Change for this procedure, which I plan to do next Wednesday night.
So I fill out this paperwork, and the change co-ordinator spits it back at me saying This change does not have a test plan or a backout plan, necessary requirements for a RFC. I would like to see some type of testing being done after the un-install of Oracle. Please include this information in the RFC documentation.
This is ridiculous to me. So I email back asking “what kind of testing do you expect us to do?”
I think the whole thing is ridiculous, so I start bitching at my co-worker Chad. “Seriously, what does she want me to do? I can make sure the server’s not on fire…”
…and a woman in the neighboring cube says “No, that is NOT what I want. I just want you to make sure the server boots up. That’s all.”
Yup. The damn woman (who I’ve never met in person) is “hoteling” in the cube next to Chad. How embarassing.
Incidentally, my mouse was missing this morning. I’m fairly sure this bitch took it.
